Then staying in Bristol tonight on the way back. This evening will include a couple of pre-bash pints with Jeff, which I will need to recover from going to Wales and as I have a lot of work on at the moment.

Thank fuck...
I intend to celebrate the end of the working week in the usual manner - being largely unproductive for most of the day and then knocking off at 3pm.

Alt: eBay has seen a lot of my money over the years as I have bought many records through it. You need to know a bit about what you are buying, how much it is truly worth (but also how much it is worth to you, which may be a different amount) and you need to be disciplined about sticking to your ceiling price for an item. It is all to easy to get caught up in a bidding frenzy. My policy is to only ever bid in the final seconds of the auction. This not only stops me from going over my top price, but also doesn't allow enough time for rival bidders to up their bids.

That's how I'm celebrating today.

Whatever you do, make sure someone you know in real life, knows where you'll be, get them to call half way through to see if you're safe.
Make a few refferences to how Aunty Nora is on her last legs, "God damn it, Ma' loves her sister so much. Nora is a shadow of what she was, that's not how I wanna go, I want the mersy of a quick death..." then, you can download this program that'll set off your ringtone when you shake the phone in a cirtain way, you can keep it in your pocket. "Oh god ! Mum, I'm so sorry, I'll be right over...." ... "... I'm sorry, you understand, I have to go".

You know what? It _is_ a wonderful day, one full of wonder and delight, promising many things.
I've decided not to continue on at my current job, that I'm going to move on to pastures new, and score myself a month's wages for fuck all. I don't think I'll be out of a job for long, I more than likely will snapped up at my prices. OH BOY. I saw a video game company looking for someone like me, I might be able to score myself some beta tests or some shit like that.

I wonder if I can find a company that'll let me bring a pet to work, there are a few that do that, I'd get a dog if I could do that.

Then I am going to turn the flowers in to booze.

Ebay is great if you want hard to find stuff at a low price, its fucking shit if you are selling stuff on it because they now take 10% rather than the previous 5% which was acceptable. Then listing fees, then they charge you for accepting a Paypal payment despite all being the same fucking company. Paypal are fucking evil so don't get me started. Just imagine how many millions of pounds of our money they have in their system. Now how much money do you think they are earning from our money being in their system? Probably a fuck load, they're like a bank only they can treat you like shit and hold back your money for ages for stupid reasons.

There are 20k people who work for Gregg's Bakers.
It would take the entire staff of Greggs, PLUS 25% extra (minus a bit), who's skills you'd have to add to Battereds skills, for him to make me equal. There are 24k libarians in the UK. If you took every single one as 1% of Battered's skillsets, then it would take all of them, plus 333 more of them, or battered to be equal.

Percent, a part out of one hundred. Perkilo, a part of one thousand. X = 10, M = 1000.
What's the word for the 10ks ? Could you write it something like o/mk or would it be o/km? I'm sure one would mean 10,000 and the other would mean 990.

No twist bottles, and only standard size.
Brown and green are the best, because light can damage the beer. Although, sticking it in a cupboard also helps.

The thing says 2-3 weeks for the best flavour but they'll be ready in a week.
They say the flavour improves as the CO2 bubbles get smaller, but that sounds like shit to me.
(PsychoChompHan Solo gets killed by his son Rylo, Fri 20 Apr 2012, 10:14,

It's sort of shit and sort of not.
the bubbles get smaller with increased pressure, which comes from more CO2 from a longer bottle ferment, which changes the solubility equilibrium of the CO2:carbonic acid, so changes the flavour.

However, there aren't really that many bubbles until you actually open the bottle, at which point it's at AP and so all bubbles are more or less the same size.

of course it does, it you saw a perfectly scaled 8 foot man next to a normal sized guitar
you would think the guitar was small, and thats the whole point

But he wasn't scaled up she would have only thought he was thats the whole point
So there would have been no normal sized anything, the whole image would in her mind be scaled up. I've tried to explain this and failed, I give up
